Fast as Lightning Mississippi Mud Cake ***

Dh LOVES Mississippi Mud Cookies, so he requested a cake like that for his b-day. I didn't have much time to do the more involved recipes I found, but this one seemed like a good sub. He wasn't crazy about the marshmallow topping, but the rest of us loved it. I only used one box of brownies and put it in a 9x13 pan. I also melted the frosting in the microwave for a minute or so, to make it easier to drizzle. The boys and I snacked on it all weekend, so it was definitely a keeper for us. :-)

Place the pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until toasted.
Prepare mix according to the package directions using eggs, vegetable oil, and water; pour into a greased 15x10 x 1-inch jelly-roll pan.
Bake at 350° for 25 minutes. Remove from oven, and top with marshmallows; bake 8 to 10 more minutes.
Drizzle warm cake with Chocolate Frosting, and sprinkle evenly with toasted pecans. Enjoy!
